What does this mean? Well, you can take advantage of the width and length of your garage. You will not have to leave any space between the vehicle and the door when you have to enter or leave.

2. Folding garage door
These garage doors are also widely used in all types of homes. The difference with the sectionals is that they open at an angle of 90 degrees and is housed in the wall.

So they do take up some space in the garage, but not too much. Also keep in mind that you should leave some space between the vehicle and the door while it is opening or closing.

3. Sliding swing door
The sliding doors garage are those opened and closed laterally. Therefore they are housed in the wall as happens with the casement. The space they occupy is very little.

It is true that this type of doors are also very suitable for placing them on urbanization doors or country houses and may be less advisable in community garage doors.
